Tribute to Whitney Houston

2012-02-13T11:58:00.005+08:00

On Sunday morning, I have stunned to devastating news through my Twitter timeline.

With disbelief and shock, I tweeted about the loss of One of The Greatest Voices ever: Whitney Houston.

Yes, she's gone and her body was found in her hotel room at the Beverly Hills Hilton.

Fell in love with her music after Ibu introduced me with I Will Always Love You track back in 90s.

Until now, I must say, she’s one of my idols in music arena. My top 3 must-listen tracks are:

1) I Will Always Love You

2) When You Believe duet with Mariah Carey

3) I Look To You

May you rest in peace Whitney. Your music will live forever!

Backpacation to Bangkok Day 3

2012-01-18T14:10:00.001+08:00

Okay, I’m so excited for Day 3 itinerary. We went to one of the most popular floating markets in Bangkok.

Of course I’m so thrill about it. In Malaysia, we don’t have this kind of market. But, really hope we build this in our lovely country J

For this trip, we booked half day tour to Damnoen Saduak floating market as early as 6.30am.

Packed my hat, sunglasses, Gardenia buns and chocolates so I can stay comfortable until noon. But the worst part was I forgot to charge my camera :( (Obviously, something so very important)

Thanks to Shima for saving her camera battery from Day 1.

The journey took almost 2 hours. Fell asleep next to my new friend from Filipino. She's a solo traveler. *salute*

My happy face at 6.30am in Bangkok. It will never happened in KL around that time :)

Our tour guide was so nice. His name is Jim but I called him Harun Salim Bachik. Wanna know why? Look at his pic below:

Mr. Jim, our tourist guide

Floating market is one of the main attractions in Thailand. This is more to tourist thingy. Nothing much to describe about it. You may look at our pictures:

Jim took this for us. The guy at the back was actually waiting for us.

View along the river:

Getting hotter. Thanks to sunglasses and blue hat

Other floating boat filled with tourists

Entering the main market

This is Damnoen Saduak Floating Market:

On the boat with Shima

Our first stop at the market. Shima needs to buy Vietnamese style hat

Is the weather or us getting hotter :p

Second stop! Shima and the Filipino girl bought Damnoen Saduak t-shirt

Snap snap photo for sweet memories

Scary auntie at the back :)

I've been waiting for Sticky rice with mango since Day 1 in Bangkok. Oh finally!

So delicious, I swear!

After the tour, we walked inside the market

Lots of mangoessssss

I don't know what kind of food it was, but it's catchy!

Cincau in pile

The price for foods

The girls

I don't know what message I'm trying to convey in this photo.

Next destination is Elephant Village.

Just a mile away from Damnoen Saduak.

We were so excited to ride on the elephant.

We haven't think about the rates.

Surprisingly, the charge was 600bht!!!

Quite expensive compared to rates in Malaysia.

Elephant oh elephant

Jim took this photo while waiting for our turn

So our elephant is 25 years old and her name is Nen.

We've been told by the guard that she's pregnant.

Oh man! How could you allow us riding on pregnant elephant ?

And after the tour done, my friends told that she also riding on the preggy elephant.

Okay, that's tricky.

How do we know if the elephants are pregnant or not?

They looked the same especially on stomach.

It's okay if they lied to us.

What I care the most is the tears on Nen's eyes :(

Finally, our elephant arrived and ready to bring us around

Fun fun fun

I must admit, the guy who took our photos is quite talented

Get in the water mommy-to-be

Heading back to Bangkok city took another 2 hours.

Apa lagi? Tido session with other traveller in the van lah.

We were so hungry when the van arrived in the city,

We asked the driver to dropped us at MBK mall.

We walked further down to Siam Paragon for Halal food.

Energy recharged!

The only Halal food in Siam Paragon

As Siam Paragon just a walking distance to Platinum and Pratunam Night market, we decided to shop for the last time.

We shopped for 2 hours.

Walking down the street after late lunch and bumped into blue tuk tuks

All time favorite- took photos with local signboard

Did some crazy pose

Big bear

i love the couch

This place is cute

My whole feet were in pain. A call for Thai massage!

We paid only 300 BHT and what we received was a pleasant massage. Superb! Love it so badly.

Back to hotel, we packed our stuff to fit our baggage size. Wow! Just nice.

Opening my own floating market in hotel room *mai mai, buy buy*. Seriously, I bought so many things!

4am we waited our driver at the lobby.

Passed souvenirs to Tommy.

And goodbye Bangkok.

Definitely will visit you again.

My colorful bag is so eye catching

Now I know why lots of people love you and can't forget about you.

Till we meet again, muah!

xoxo,

Backpacation to Bangkok Day 2

2012-01-17T14:15:00.034+08:00

We woke up quite early in the morning. As for your information, Bangkok time difference is 1 hour behind Malaysia.

We had breakfast (Gardenia bun I brought from KL) in hotel room. Recharge full energy for Chatuchak weekend market.

Like hello? I'm going to shop till drop. My all time favorite!

We walked to the other side of the hotel. Just to discover a new route.

We are trying to ignore smelly and dirty environment.

We found lots of passive dogs. (I would say anjing sopan). They look at us like small insects just passed by. Their face seems to say, Mind Your Own Business!

Walking further down and this time we found Platinum Mall, one of biggest wholesale shopping mall in Bangkok. Wow! More reason to spend money. While, Pratunam morning market just a 5 minutes walking distance from our hotel.

We took a tuk tuk to Victory Monument train station. From there, we paid 25 bht for train ticket straight to Mo Chit station.

BTS map at Victory Monument station

The tix

Yes, we're heading to Mo Chit

While waiting for our train, let's pose!

Just nice as I can sit :)

Pinky girls must love this taxi so much

Chatuchak market only opens on weekend from 8am till 6pm. According to one source, about 5,000 stalls sell different items in this market. So if you found something nice, just bargain and buy or you’ll regret!

We arrived quite early and leave around 12 pm. So hot mann!

Early morning. Still lots of shop close

Snapped this because of the shop name. ADDA. Remind me of my best friend

Just a few minutes in Chatuchak, look at my bags

What's you flavor?

Hot weather + ice cream = Forever Perfect

This is officially my favorite in Bangkok

Coconut ice cream with nuts

Lots of people comin' in

The only halal stall in Chatuchak market

Back to hotel for a quick refreshment and I was so hungry.

Took train and back to hotel

Around 2pm, we walked to Platinum Mall for lunch. Food court can be found at 6^th floor.

Instead of having lunch, we need nice dress to wear. We got a river cruise trip around Bangkok city tonight.

Proton Neo in Pratunam street

On our way to Platinum Mall

And FYI, all has been organized by Tommy. I've told you, he's so kind!

We've been reminded earlier by Tommy that we are going to River City by taxi.

Nevertheless, we went there by tuk tuk at last minute.

How am I going to wear dress by riding a tuk tuk filled with 4 girls?

No dress, just a simple legging ;)

Yay! Resume shopping session

Food court card. Reload and can redeem

Pratunam Market

At 6pm, we rushed back to the hotel.

Our tuk tuk driver has been waiting for us.

And then Tommy said, girls can you wait another 15 minutes? And we asked, why?

He said the driver wants to charge us more. He won't allow that happens to us. Oh myyyyyy!!!

We sat back and think. Why he is so nice to us? *love*

15 mins later, young tuk tuk driver with quite good looking face reached at hotel lobby.

Tommy wrote down the venue in Thai language.

Maybe because the driver quite young and not familiar with River city area.

We're ready for river cruise

Traffic oh traffic

I wonder what they sell at Indian Hut

The journey took about 45 mins.

Once arrived, the driver who introduced himself as Pag sent us right in front the main entrance. The issue here, we're the only group arrived with tuk tuk.

We mean no tuk tuk allowed in that area. But, Pag has promised Tommy to send us to the right place. Pag gave us his number in case we can call him to fetch us up. Of course we're gonna call you.

On the cruise, we've been showed with reminiscing view around Bangkok city.

Fantastic panorama ;)

Me and tuk tuk's driver, Pag

I really want to wear what she wore

Four of us

River Cruise pass

Friendly Japanese who shared their travel experience in Malaysia

Queue to enter the cruise *excited*

While waiting for dinner

Mr. Saxophone

Yay! Fooddddsssss

After dinner, we decided to make a tour by ourselves

And we went back to our seat for cabaret show - miming Titanic's song

Snapped pic with one of the entertainers

Oh so amazing Grand Palace view at night

This one too- Wat Arun (It looks like Eiffel Tower in Paris)

I forgot the name of hotel at the left side. But at the right side is Sheraton Hotel

Last day with Tommy. He invited me and the girls visit his hometown, Chiang Mai someday :)

Backpacation to Bangkok Day 1

2012-01-17T13:30:00.022+08:00

Sawadeekap. Finally, another backpacking trip and this time I chose Bangkok, Thailand.

Let's read my experience in Bang Bang Bangkok, Thai:

Arrived at Suvarnabuhmi Airport around 5.15pm. Long queue at immigration as usual :)

Thanks to 2 months research on transportation in Bangkok. We took City Link train (Airport train) to Makkasan for only 45bht.

Hey Air Asia!

Free shuttle bus service

Airport City Link direct to Makkasan station

They used coin instead of ticket

From Makkasan, interchange at Phya Thai to Ratchaprarop. I still got a problem in pronouncing it properly until today.

At Phya Thai station, we bumped into one lady in hijab. We asked lots of questions about Halal restaurants in Bangkok. Coincidentally, she's a student from UIA and can speak Malay fluently with Kelantanese accent. Wow!

The adventure begins at Ratchaprarop station.

We walked down the street to find Pratunam City Inn Hotel. Ask lots of people about our hotel's location. They showed us way to hotel via Pratunam Night market

Then, an uncle pointed out a small street near the night market as a route to our hotel. Okay it’s a bit scary as the street looks like I’m in Chow Kit Road, KL. (KL-ites u’ve got what I mean right?)

Yes, it's Pratunam Hotel according to signage board. Passed our passports and booking receipt to the receptionist.

However, the girl said, this is not the right hotel. This is Pratunam Citiinn.

Oh gosh huh!!!!

We asked one luggage boy to write it in Thai language.

I can't walk any further. But, we need to get out from this lorong and night market. We need to find the main road.

My idea to the girls was taking a tuk tuk to our hotel. A guard at Baiyoke Tower helped us taking a tuk tuk. It's not that far actually.

Green Tuk Tuk

Riding a tuk tuk was real fun. So fast :)

Yay! Finally our hotel- The Pratunam City Inn Hotel. The righteous one.

Our room

Toi toi toilet

Dropped our bag in hotel room and back on the Pratunam street. We went to Pratunam Night Market again. This time we’ve got plenty of time to walk around without any burden J

Oh-I'm-so-in-love-with-this-coconut FACE

We're tired! Tuk tuk please bring us 'home'

Okay, let me talk about our receptionist in this hotel.

His name is Tommy.

He was so nice.

We asked him lots lots lots of questions.

He gave us free map and showed the most convenient way to go to favorite places.

He explained in super details J

He called taxi and tuk tuk with reasonable charges

He even won't let us trap in tourist scam.

Alhamdulillah for meeting lovely people like this.

At lobby, we met a couple from Malaysia who just got back from Chatuchak market. They also very nice to us by sharing their experience in Chatuchak market.

Tommy explained to my friend about Chatuchak Market

Look at this drinking water's bottle, nice kan? Captured this before I go to bed.

What I can see, most of Thai people were very nice to us. Their hospitality can't be compared with others. They inspired me to be kind towards people. Stay tunes for Day 2!

2012-01-17T03:12:00.003+08:00

It's been ages since the last time we gathered.

Not easy task to put Alwi's family under one roof.
But Kak Chik and family gave 100% commitment to make this reunion became reality. Good job :)

they've booked a big bungalow near Brinchang hills named Palas View.
2 dogs were welcomed us with sumpah scary face.
They act like officer guard with pink nose.LOL
They're so fierce. Yet I feel safe.

The theme for our family day was potluck
Bring your own food and get together!
Apa lagi... Lots of food lah!
Plus, the freezing weather made us feel so hungry like there's no tomorrow

Apart from that, my beloved niece's birthday fall on 4 December.
It means we were having birthday celebration with the entire family
We had so much fun!!!
What else did I missed?

Oh ya!
We had family hottest gossip (my all time favorite), coffee/tea session, strawberry as a main snack and lots of laugh.
Plus, me, Wanie (my niece) and Sofia have been placed in Bibik's 'territory'.

The weather was fantastic.

I would recommend this place for people with big family.

Enjoy the photos :)

Top 11 About My 2011

2012-01-13T14:48:00.002+08:00

1) Anniversary

Kicked off my 2011 with our anniversary together. Celebration went well.

I love the pressie :) that's all I'm gonna tell. You might get bored with lovey dovey story.

Lucky No.1

2) Travel to Bandung 2x

My sister loves Bandung more than she loves our hometown. Bandung is a nice place to shop for textiles. She got crazy every time we went to Pasar Baru. After my 3rd trip, I got bored with Bandung. People get a lil bit rude and arrogant. Lots of Malaysians came and the price gets slightly higher than before. My advice to my sis, just spend our time and money when it's necessary.

My favorite dessert back in Bandung- Es Durian

Iconic Indonesian drink- Teh Botol

3) WVB AND WVD

Alhamdulillah and I'm thankful for these 2. My dream came true. Thanks to family and K.

4) My Girls

No better life without my girls. Some people think we are crazy. We fight; melahar each other, listen to our problems, understand each situation, laugh out loud like and we went for Kursus Kahwin together. I just love them no matter how time flies. Best friend sticks together!

Yasmen & Fifi - Love you guys!

5) Fun & cool friends

Friends are important to me. They spin my life into something new every day.

Some of them came and go while some of them stay through ups and downs.

6) Wonderful weddings

Most of my friends and my cousin tied the knot to a wonderful year. All the best to new life peeps!

7) Island

Every year since 2009, I will reward myself to a beautiful island in Malaysia. This time, I went to Tioman Island in non peak season. I was lucky to stay in chalet with spectacular view. Lots of sweet memories created. I will visit you again :)

Crystal clear water

Officially my favorite chalet- Salang Beach

8) Family day

It's very hard to get all my family together under one roof. But this year we've made it. Palas View private bungalow witnessed all the happiness and joy shared.

9) Korea

This is like the biggest thing I love about 2011. You all know it well. And it makes me travel addict. (Read my previous post on Korea)

10) MLTR Live in KL

I fell in love, since the first time I've heard their song "You Took My Heart Away" . I can't imagine myself if someone dedicate all Michael Learns To Rock songs to me. Ehem ehem... An opportunity to see them live was my great pleasure. Even though they didn't perform my most favorite song, it's okay! They still played the most meaningful song to me -Paint My Love. Never-mind. I'm still a happy and lucky girl.

11) BBQ with friends for 2012 countdown

It's kind of last minute plan. My original plan was to break a law. But.... I'm a good girl! So we're heading to blue lagoon for 2012 countdown. It was fun !!!!

Thanks 2011 for great memories. May 2012 transform my world into something extraordinary!

Teaser 2012 #1: My recent trip

2012-01-13T10:43:00.002+08:00

Backpacation to South Korea- Day 4

2011-12-12T13:48:00.001+08:00

We saved our last day for a very loose itinerary. I guess it’s time for us to have a lil bit fun with Koreans.

However, Own and Rash think it's really not worth the money.

From their unreliable source, Genting is better compared to Lotte World.

They even got a better idea to spend our Day 4 wisely.

They want us to just lepak at coffee shop enjoying speedy wifi.

Oh man, thank God for my excellent persuasion skill or else shot my head ;)

We checked out from guesthouse at 7.30am. Stop by at nearby subway just to place our luggage in the locker.

Check- out BeeWon Guesthouse. Till we meet again :(

Thanks a lot Own for helping me with Pinky. He suits you anyway. LOL

Heading to Jamsil only took about 30 minutes from Hanguk station.

On the train to Jamsil

Once arrived, we head to ticketing counter.

It's very hard to communicate with their staff as no one speak international lingo.

We just want to know is the ticket applied to whole day pas.

That's all but they don't understand us.

So next time, if you want to visit Korea, you must go to KPOP concert happening in KL first. Bump into someone who obsessed about them and plan your trip together. Easy rite?

But why KPOP concert? Due to my personal experience, girls (mostly) who love KPOP tend to speak fluently in Hangul. So… find them J

Full day pass for one adult and entry to all rides: W32,000

Personally I think Lotte World and Genting has their own strengths and weaknesses. It's not fair for you to compare these two especially when you guys only listen to other people.

Traveler won't listen to other people opinion until they see it themselves. (oops terlahar pulak)

Lotte World is a theme park full of kids and teenagers. It's hard to see parent around them to keep an eye over them. This is cool!

Our first ride: Air Baloon

We can see the whole indoor park

Rash, me and Suraya captured by Own

Ice rink

Horse riding

Magical indoor park

Finally, bikmama conquered Lotte World. This my empire, Hamba Rakyat

Our second ride together. Almost puke after ride it

Our third ride, Rash gave up to this!

We’re ready

There's a secret behind this photo. Crush!

After do a tour and ride on some attractions, we hunt for something to eat.

Still coffee shop for lunch. It’s kinda boring but we have no choice.

Thanks to speedy wifi. We browsed over on news and gossips in Malaysia.

We even chit chat about Facebook status and photos. Sorry can’t help us on that. We just love show-off and loud people on social media. LOL

I was so focus enjoying speedy wifi connection. While Rash.... still enjoying....LOL

The coolest things ever were me and Own ride two scariest, adventurous and challenging rides in Lotte World.

(Please go to YouTube if you want to find out how crazy it was)

1) Atlantis Adventure Roller Coaster

2) Gyro Drop (Vertical free-fall)- It’s super jaw dropping man!

Even though we have to be patient in a longggggggg queue but it’s totally worth it.

At one time, I really want to give up queuing. However, when I think about it, we’ve got nothing to rush right?

So just wait for my turn to come.

After ride it, sumpah happy giler! Brilliant experience I had. It’s crazy and thrill but I just love it.

Anyway, Rash and Suraya got some fear problems to deal with. LOL. They just hang around while waiting for us. And thanks for amazing photos captured.

Look at the long queue. Crazzzzyyyy!

I’m ready for super fun roller coaster baby

At my very best to cover my fats. LOL

I'm so proud of myself. And Own should too. (sorry Rash and Sue. Hehe)

If you guys go to other countries and do not experience such things, you will definitely regret once you browse over all the pictures.

Your reaction will be like this:

Alaaaaaa, rugi tak try :(. ( I guess je) Next time, just try!

Coolkan ourselves before take off

Woooooo! Finally we made it!

All the happiness and joy in Lotte World was a good memory to remember.

Apart from that, I love the way they wave at us. Sumpah comel! If you bump into me, don’t forget to ask me imitate their waves ya J

I hope Own and Rash will blame their friend for telling something negative about it.

We continue our journey to Seoul Station and took Korail Airport train to catch our flight around 12am.

Final night in Seoul, South Korea L

Here we go to airport

We took KORAIL. Fast and convenient

At the check in counter, we did ask the staff there, how much we have to pay for airport tax? She replied to us, there's no airport tax here. Only in Korea.

We were like wooooooo, why didn't you tell me earlier honey??

Own and Rash love to hear it!

We took trolleys for baggage and head to Paris Croissant restaurant for supper.

Bumped into UiTM TEKA students in the restaurant. This is good to see UiTM gave opportunity to student traveled overseas to see the world.

Own introduced me to new tasty food called Kimbap. Suraya and I loved it. Maybe because we were so hungry.

We rushed to 7E downstairs and bought lots of TUNA KIMBAP. I even bought chocolates and chewing gum I haven't seen in Malaysia.

Did I mention about super laju wifi in Incheon Airport? Not yet? Heheheh. Don't waste your time. Get online!

Four of us in front of 7E Incheon Airport

Online 'on the go' while waiting for OWN to get his KIMBAP. Sounds so wrong

Finally! A proper toilet for me. Apologies for this photo

Youtube-ing all KPOP vide clips

We're leaving for a place called HOME

Four days spent in Korea was a super great experience for me.

I’m so keen to travel to other countries and meeting new people everyday.

For some people said it's very hard to backpack in Korea, we made it man!

For others who said, you will face lots of hassle when you have nobody here, we survived dude!

So people out there, don't simply feels down when you've been surrounded by negative vibes.

Only you can change what you want to see in the future.

Tata,

Backpacation to South Korea- Day 3

2011-12-09T14:20:00.002+08:00

Since we skipped Nami Island on Day 1, we definitely reserved our Day 3 just for my super favorite island. As most of people know, this is the famous shooting location for Winter Sonata. I'm a fan and of course I'm excited!

The journey starts at 7.30 am as we don't want to get lost, again and again.

Another thing is, most of the blogs provided us with direction to Nami Island were totally not updated. This is happened when we follow the direction on our day 1 (LOST). But don't worry as Cheongyangni station personnel will provide you with a piece of paper contained very clear direction. You just tell them you want to go to Namiseom!

We're so ready for Nami Island. Bring it on! (Near BeeWon Guesthouse)

Subway so crowded on Monday morning

What I noticed with Koreans, they will always with their gadgets. While my friends, they always get ready to pose

From Cheongyangni station, you have to buy a ticket to Chuncheon. I forgot the price as for the entire journey; we used T-Money. Easy and convenient.

We have to change to a new platform once arriving at Hoegi station and people in here can't speak English fluently. Received answer in Hangeul definitely a headache to us. They trying to help by pointing out which platform should we go.

This one cute lady with BB cream on (I’m sorry for noticing it) was pointing out to the wrong platform. Thanks to our gut feeling for telling us that she was wrong.

When the train approaching, she went to us and said, This one! This one!- Okay nasib baik J

In Cheongnyangni Station - their vending machine is everywhere

Sama macam KTM in Malaysia

Take platform 3 to Hoegi

Once arrived in Hoegi, find exit to Gapyeong as image above

And you will find this. Wait for subway at platform no. 4

Mr. Peace behind Suraya in case you can't locate Own

Very perasan of me!

We have to wait quite a long period with bunch of senior citizens around us. When I mentioned senior citizen they are not like ours in Msia. They are fit and trendy. Always walk in group. I'm so proud of them and I can't imagine myself at their age, walking to the train station and climb to the hill just to fill my outdoor activities. Impressive.

The journey took about 1 hour and the best part was we have to stand almost the entire trip. Never mind, we still young (sumpah penat)

Look at woman beside me. They inspire me to stay healthy

They have to be gentlemen for the entire trip. (Muka bengang kena berdiri)

This is spectacular

Interesting view from the journey

Arriving at Gapyeong station is another headache. We know the fact that we have to take a ferry to Namiseom. But how to catch it? That's a good question anyway. Plus, we actually missed the bus because I went to toilet.

Own refer back to our itinerary yet still don't know how.

Me in front Gapyeong Station

Until a group of auntie asked us to follow them walking to ferry station. So kind of them.

They said, “Only 5 minutes walking distance”, according to what Own said lah! So 'helpful' anyway.

Apa lagi… Jalan kakilah to get ferry.

However, it’s not 5 minutes ye dolls.

Anak Tibet recharge

Own translated what auntie just said. Only 5 minutes je korang. Rupanya jauh giler. Confident yet failed!

Inilah auntie- auntie yang invite we all joined them berjalan ke ferry. Meriahlah dorang fit. We all?

We gonna rock so called '5 minutes walking distance' rite Own? (Jauh giler)

View in Chuncheon cantik- cantik. Tambah cantik dengan weather yang best!

I love this field. It suits my skirt color

Vege tanam depan rumah. Fresh!

On our way to ferry

Sempat lagi

It took almost 30 minutes. Fuhhhhh! (Not recommended unless you really want to a be a very rajin traveller)

What I realized Chuncheon is cooler than Seoul city. Maybe it's located in rural area.

After almost 30 minutes walking, we finally found the ferry terminal to Nami island.

Yay!

Only W8,000 for the entry visa.

I thought the island is located so far away from ferry station.

It’s actually only 5 minutes away.

You still can see the ferry station from Namiseom. So near.

In case you want something adventure, you can take 940 meter long Nami Skyline ZipWire ZipRider.

Ziplining from Gapyeong Wharf to Nami Island only cost you W38,000.

Finally sampai with mak- mak angkat Own. Thanks Aunties for became our temporary mother in Korea

Entry Visa- W8,000

Nami Maid- Ferry

On ferry while watching people got ziplining

1, 2, 3 Go...Let's party!

And finally my dream come true. I’m in Namiseom! No one can describe how excited I am.

All of us holding our own camera to capture every single moment in this spectacular island.

Early autumn I guess. Only this spot got Yellow leaves

Mommy, we want milk. Mampu?

Road to Happiness :)

Jun Sang and Yoo Jin

First kiss...

Another spot to capture thousand of photos

Awww. It's been 9 years since the film released

The only HALAL restaurant we found in Namiseom

Halal Kimchi Rice. BEWARE it's so hot

This photo is lovely!

We went for couple bike ride. Only cost you W2,500 per hour. Best!

Happy me

Walking around, camwhoring, look at Winter Sonata items left, having lunch at Muslim restaurant and ride a couple bike for an hour.

It's really good to have this kind of experience. Me having so much fun in Nami Island. And it's already 3.30pm and we need to catch the last ferry. From Nami you could actually use a taxi with a fix fare, 8000 won. If we know it earlier, hmmmm. Our mistake :p

In the taxi to Gapyeong station

Back in town!

Dongdaemun was our next destination to go as we need to buy souvenirs for friends and family in Malaysia.

You can reach Dongdaemun by taking subway and it's easy for you to go there because the name of station is Dongdaemun.

We arrived there around 5.30pm and most of the shops open are cater to wholesaler.

While waiting for the mall to open at 7.30pm (Monday only) we all lepak at coffee shop and observe on Korean style.

The best part was, we can talk about anything in Malay language without anybody understands it. I guess this is why we love having coffee in Korea- Gossip time :)

This is souvenir shop in Doota. The cashier can speak Malay

Gossip about lots of things. Lots of laugh too *happy*

Back from Dongdaemun, I remind them that this is our last night heading to our guesthouse. So we recorded a video about how’s Korea treat us so far. Everytime I miss Korea, I played it and never fails to make me laugh!

When we get old, we know how fun to be in other countries like Korea. (Rindu all of you)

Backpacation to South Korea- Day 2

2011-12-08T17:42:00.001+08:00

This time we wake up early and had breakfast at Paris Croissant (Only Rash and Own). Then we head to Insadong by foot. It's actually took only 10 mins from our guesthouse.

While waiting for two sweety guys, baik snap!

I get so hyperactive when I was in Korea

Check on our itinerary before bergerak

This time, we waited them to choose coffee and pastries.

We arrived at Insadong when most of the shops still close. Most of people said this is the right place to get souvenirs. For me, you better get it from Dongdaemun. Cheaper

Still close

They welcomed us with choir

Masks

Signboard yang menarik

Bought sweet cookies. It tastes good.

Festivals banners

Me trying to find the right path

And we found ....

We walked further down until we found Cheonggyecheon stream at the central of the city. This place is suitable for people who want a very peace and harmony environment. Absolutely stunning view.

Walking down the stream is a must! If we can convert our Klang river into this, I bet it could be one of tourist attractions in KL.

Cheonggyecheon Stream!!!

What happened to Own? Kata hero remaja 1987

Building semua tinggi- tinggi kat sini

Self-cam. Thanks to Samsung for Lomo effect

Reading history of the stream. We were so focused!

Round round baby round!

We bumped into one Korean guy wearing Hanbok (Traditional Korean clothing) with his microphone. Apa lagi, posing time lah!

Hanbok Man. He's so nice to us

Thanks Kak Filipino for perfect photo

Tekan ni before crossing the road

Jom melintas!

Then, we walk straight until the end of the stream and we found huge replica in the middle of the road.

And behind it, there's a palace facing the hill. It's actually a famous Gyeongbukgung Palace. That’s all I know. Advice: Do some research on history because you will appreciate it more.

Huge

I must say this photo looks fantastic. Good job Rashwan!

This is our best pose to describe a perfect weather in Korea

On our way to Gyeongbukgung Palace

At the entrance with 4 Hanbok ladies. I wanna wear it too :(

Tinggi sangat this guy

The journey continues to ...But wait, Own needs some pamper time with his new friend.

Grown up lah Own!

Korea flags

This time we head to Namsan Tower. As we don't know how to get there by bus, we hike the hills. Our motto of the day: Keep walking baby!

Cable car to Namsan Tower

Finally sampai!

Once arrived, we bought cable tickets which I forgot how much.

You have to queue in a 'pair system'. It took only 10 minutes to arrive at the peak point.

You can choose to hike Mt. Namsan using stairs provided. For us, sorrylah. We’re running out of energy already lah!

Pair system queue

While waiting for cable car

Autumn leaves :)

At base level of N Seoul Tower, you will notice love padlocks hanging around at the fences. You can see millions of it.

This is only 1 area

According to source, this is culture where lovebirds lock their love symbolize of promise made since 1980s. So have you locked your love? Why not you come over here and lock it!

Angry Birds padlock found!

Fantastic Four

We were so hunger for food during our visit to Namsan. I ate Churros cost 3000 Won to prevent me from hungry (Sedappp). No Halal main course found. So, we have to find it by going to the town.

Churros time

Try our luck guna short cut turun bawah. Berjaya uols!

So, we have to find it by going to the town. We stopped by at coffee shop named Cafe Bene!

Cafe Bene is quite similar to Starbucks

I love this technology. It will vibrate to notify it's your turn to take foods! Cool kan?

After gained our energy, we go to Han River which quite far away from town.

Han River is the best place to have picnic. Most of Korean teenagers spent their evening time by visiting this place. With the weather like that, it's totally perfect.

Han River view

Ada guy offered himself to take a picture of us. So kind!

We spent our time at Han River by taking tons of pictures. Check it out:

ME always get ready. Rash, entahlah!

And look at Rash's face LOL

Okay this is too much Rashwan! LOL. What happens in Korea, stay in Korea
Good night Rash!

After Han River, we took subway direct to Hongdae University. Most of people said this is suitable place for teenagers like us to party!

But, we skipped it.

We were too tired!

Waiting for subway to come

Karaoke place yang cool. I want this in Malaysia

Salon

Hello Kitty restaurant

Rash found HALAL Kebab down the street

We're going home for a Maggie session again. For this time, we had an opportunity to chat with one uncle from Singapore. He listened to us gossiping in Malay language.

He asked us, where are we from and chat about his travel experience.

He's in 40++ I guess yet he inspires us.

Singaporean uncle who travels a lot

Stay tuned for Day 3 post :)

Backpacation to South Korea- Day 1

2011-12-08T13:56:00.003+08:00

The idea behind all of this was from me and my best friend Yana. I still remember how both of us obsessed about Korean No.1 drama series - Winter Sonata. We all siap berangan especially nak get married with Jun Sang (Bae Yong Jun). Unfortunately, when the time arrived, Yana got some last minute things to do :(

However, thanks to Own, Rash and Sue who make our plan became real. I'm so excited as this is my first overseas vacation with friends. And we decided to go budget travel like a backpacking style as we need to experience the real environment.

Sleeping time

Rash was hungry at that time. He ordered Maggie Cup in flight. What a taste!LOL

Seat kosong. So sorang satu row!

Let me begins with my first day experience in Korea:

After 6 hours journey, we finally arrived at Incheon Airport around 6am (Korea time) with 13 degree Celsius. For your information, Korea awal 1 jam sahaja.

My first view in Korea

Muka baru bangun tido!

The immigration process took about 1 hour and thanks to free super fast Wifi ;) (Even lots of carutan dedicate to the whole immigration process).

I must say I’m impress with Incheon Airport. No wonder lah it listed in Top 3 Airport of the Year for 2011.

Incheon Airport, South Korea

From Incheon Airport, we took Korail Airport train straight to Seoul Station and about 30minutes later we arrived at Seoul Station. (KL Sentral look-a-like).

For your information, we didn't sign up for any Korea tour package. We went by ourselves based on Internet research. That's why I called this trip as BACKPACATION = Backpacking + vacation :)

AREX Line Map

Look at our bag-packs and my luggage! (Sorry tak ikut backpacking rule)

Me and Suraya

First and last experience bought a ticket using machine. Sedih! No English instructions

Yay! Sampai Seoul Station

Queue for escalator

Bought our T-Money. Tiru orang sebelah how to use it. Then top up.

According to our itinerary, Nami Island should be our first agenda. Nevertheless, we got lost! As we go backpacking in Korea, we solely dependent on our itinerary and subway map.

Excuse my Ikan Keli style :p

This is our first photo on Korea subway. So posing lah!

Unfortunately, all the info about direction to Nami were not updated. Even though language is the main barrier, they will try their best to help. That’s what I love about Koreans.

Go Own! Ask around. (Bagi semangat to our beloved GPS)

We were in queue just to ask them how to go to Nami.

Talking to security

We found the exit to Cheongyangni, but still....

Tengoklah apabila dikelilingi orang- orang lost

We stopped by at Myeongdong station just to keep our baggage in the locker. (We kept it about 9 hours and it cost us 36,000 Won. So expensive!)

Found lockers at Myeongdong Station

Kemas barang before lock it babeyh!

Then we decided to locate our guesthouse -BeeWon Guesthouse. Again we got lost but this time kami try pergi Police Station and asked their help. Still, susah jugak nak communicate without understand Hangul.

At one time, ada juga kami sesat dalam satu lorong kat area Jongno. Then, bila nak patah balik, ada abang construction ni, dia marah-marah and pointing out to Sue and Own. I dengan Rash dah kat depan.

Disebabkan rasa bersalah even tak tahu salah, Sue and Own patah balik pergi kat mamat tu. Rupanya dia minta tolong nak angkat barang. But versi minta tolong they all sangatlah kasar.

Me and Rash mampu gelak je.

Lorong inilah yang mamat tu jerit- jerit minta tolong

Police station in Jongno

Keep walking, explore till we found it

Around 1 pm we finally found our guesthouse after walking almost 5km. It's actually located near Hanguk subway station. And only a walking distance to Changdeokgung Palace.

Oh finally! So tired of locating you

My name on the board- Safura

While waiting for check in time, we walk to Changdeokgung Palace. The admission is 3000 Won.

Woot woot!

I love this picture, me look so petite in front of the giant entrance gate

Then jalan- jalan area guesthouse just to find what to eat for lunch. Then, 2.00pm we check in.

In front of our guesthouse, Own you should guide your eyes to always get ready once someone captured your photo! Hehehe

Street behind our guesthouse

Laundry room

Our favorite kitchen

The room

After refreshment, we took a subway to Myeongdong as we need some Korean vibes to blend in with Malaysian style :p

In Myeongdong, memang banyak sangat cosmetic shops. Price lagi murah compared to Malaysia. (Brand Korea lah)

As I forgot to bring my compact powder, so I have reason to shop! LOL

Crowded on weekends

Stim jelah!

Friendly uncle sells chestnuts.

No matter where I go, ice cream will be always my favorite

What happened when we want to collect our baggage, we got lost, again!

I would say First Day is completely lost day.

We browsed over all locker photos Rash captured just to remember which exit is the locker located. Failed!

After 20 minutes, we make a decision to go to the security office. They seem so busy with their works.

Suddenly, Own saw the locker on CCTV. All of us screamed, “We want to go to this locker” (can you imagine we said it on repeat like children wants a candy). Fuhhh!!!

Personally, discover Seoul city by foot was actually a great idea. This is the only way you can talk and meet the real Korean. And we did it.

After a long first day as a traveler, we head to our guesthouse for a Maggie session at kitchen. We were so hungry as it's very hard to find Halal food in Korea.

Muka lapar

The best part was, we conquered the whole kitchen just for us. We gossip about lots of things. Oh guys, truly miss this session!

Something holds me from....

2011-11-18T18:51:00.000+08:00

No matter what I'm doing right now or in the future...I'm still thinking how to conquer the world using backpacking style.

Inspired by several backpacker bloggers, I would say I want to be a backpacker one day (26 years old)

But, what elements suspend me to chase my dream to be a backpacker?

Let's find out :

1) Fear

This physical symptom happens to everyone. I believe, you guys have at least 1 fear towards something (wild animal, driving, commitment or even fear of facing problem). In my situation, the thought of being far away from home was terrifying me. I'm afraid everything's here will be changed after I leave. What's going to happen if I travel around the world? Do I still have a chance attending my friend's wedding? Or am I going to catch up all coolest events in KL?

My first time in Bandung, Indonesia

2) Financial

This one should be my biggest problem right now. But I put it as my second elements as if I can afford it, I still think twice. As you all know, I just graduated (last year) with 1 and a half year experience in Marketing field. I need to save money for my shopping, car, gossip session and family. Fortunately, so far, I still can afford my vacation to Bandung, Korea, islands and many more. All I need to do right now is saving. I should set my target starting from now.

3) Family

The last time I'm away with my family was in 2003-2004. I went to boarding school in Bentong, Pahang. I still remember how painful and homesick I was. I miss my ibu, opah, sisters and my cats so much. I cried everytime I see someone cried. I still remember I can't even talk on the phone because I was crying listening to my ibu's voice. You can imagine how bad when I'm away from my family. I am a family person. I can't live alone. I only eat what my ibu loves. So how can I live without my family around? Think about it, Safura!

My family during Fara's convocation

4) Single lady :)

I browsed over quite a number of blogs about single female traveler. They listed down all the tips and tricks that I found useful. I definitely will use it once I decided to travel alone.

5) Risk

Once I decided to travel, I have to take a risk especially everything related to my future. I have to quit my job, leave my favorite people, my darlings, my beloved friends, sell my baby S or even forgetting my mission to own house before I reach 30. All the risk I'll take will give impacts towards myself. I will have new routine which I've been dreaming since the first time I hit AirAsia's website. The question here, when and how I'll be ready to take all the risk? (Me myself is unsure about it). While most of friends discussing about their theme color for wedding, I might be researching on next destination to go. Or even while they're posting updates about their kids, I might be posting my photos on other culture. Mix feeling ***

This is all points that makes my travel planning postponed.

Appreciate your opinions and suggestions that can help me chase my dream before I hit 27 years old.

xoxo,

Oh My Happy birthDAY

2011-11-17T19:27:00.000+08:00

Apart from my cousin's wedding, the day itself marked my 24th anniversary.

I believe everyone is very excited for their birthday too.

My birthday became very special and I can say famous date after 2001.

World Trade Centre has been attacked by suicide bombers on 9/11.

I was 14 years old at that time. I still remember how shocked the world were to hear the news.

I admit, I'm still young to understand it.

But, years after years, I tend to get the impact after the incident.

Oopsss, I should stop mention about it.

I have to focus on my birthday not the attacks.

3 days before my birthday, I celebrated it with K.

We went for a romantic dinner in Damansara.

My bday presents were.....shhhh! (I've got 2 gifts)

After my cousin's wedding, my best friend: Fifi made a special delivery of a slice of Tiramisu cake.

Azlina and Azam Rosli were so kind to celebrate my special birthday too.

Appreciate them so much.

Not to forget, Ali (my best friend) gave me a very beautiful necklace. Awww... Thanks babe. totally in love with it :)

I would like to thank my family, special people, friends and whoever wished my birthday directly or indirectly. Truly appreciate it lovelies.

Thank you for made it so special to me.

Without all of you, (speechless)

Enjoy the pics :)

It reminds me of Kampung Daun, Bandung

2011-10-16T13:49:00.000+08:00

Akhirnyaaaaaaa...

My cousin dah kahwin :)

Azwin Abu Bakar- born 9days after my ibu gave birth to me.

Same month and same year.

Memang kami mcm kembar sudah.

Sejak kecik lagi we all memang rapat sangat.

Semua benda buat together.

Then bila dah besar, masing-masing dah start busy dengan hal sendiri.

So kami jarang sangat jumpe.

Bila dapat tahu dari uncle je, Awin dah nak kawen on my birthday gitu.

Keles tak?

This year celebrate birthday awal laaaaa. (Nanti hupdate dalam post lain pasal birthday)

110911- memang tarikh yang cantik sangat.

Dulu time kat hostel, selalu verangan tarikh tu akan ada special event *ehem ehem*

Tapi takpe, at least cousin sendiri nye big day pon... I dah happy ye.

Awin get married to Aizat on 100911.

Bersanding on 110911.

Anything I missed out?

Tengok je lah gambar kat bawah ye :)

The girls

Awin and husband, Aizat

Ada yang kata mata kami lebih kurang. Is it?

Cute nieces and nephews

Cousin: Aween

Asked Bibik Kak Rina to capture our photos. Only this one x shaking :)

As for your information, this is Yuna's atuk with my Opah. I love this picture

Real Steel

2011-10-16T13:15:00.000+08:00

Hi ols,

Dah lama sungguh tak update blog tercinta ni.

Busy sangat lately. That's why lah tak de masa sangat nak update.

Anyway, I wanna share with you guys about movie I watched recently- Real Steel.

Memang terbaiklah movie ni.

Dari segi jalan cerita, memang ianya sangat sesuai utk kesemua lapisan masyarakat.

Tambah2 lagi, Hugh Jackman pulak jadi Daddy yg hot kannnn.

Haruslah tengok!

Based on research, movie ini diadaptasi dari short novel Steel.

Story ini mengisahkan tentang boxing zaman akan datang akan digantikan dgn robot2.

So menjerit2lah kan tengok robot bertinju gitu.

If compared to Transformers, this movie definitely must watch for 2011.

But, filem ni kurang promotion skit which is I do not know why.

Anyway, go and watch it now!

Rating: 4.5 star

Tioman Trip :)

2011-10-14T16:58:00.000+08:00

As I'm dying to have a short vacation in pulau pulau, I've decided to go to Tioman Island.

I promise myself to have vacation in island at least once a year.

Last year, we chose Perhentian and Kapas Island as our perfect getaway.

For this year, I give Island in Peninsular Malaysia a chance.

It's like a dream come true.

Tioman was nice place to have some fun.

Luckily, I went during low-season so we don't need to book the chalet earlier.

Most of it were empty.

At last I chose a chalet at hillside and I forgot the name (my bad).

Nevertheless, the view from my room was spectacular.

Waking up and look through the balcony....Oh so awesome man!

Love it :)

In short, even though Tioman is not havoc compared to Perhentian, there is something to discover by yourselves.

Go look at it with your own eyes, the only trusted source :)

Breathtaking view at Tioman

View from my room

Salam Lebaran

2011-08-31T21:21:00.000+08:00

Happy Eid Mubarak to all awesome people out there.

I still can't believe how time flies...

*I miss Ramadhan*

It's time for us to forgive and forget.

Sorry for any wrongdoings (in case I say something bad about your Facebook pictures, status or make fun of your arrogant tweets/BBM statuses)

Sorry sorry sorry. I'm just a normal person :)

Have fun during raya.

Control your cholesterol dear.

Love love love,

Salam Ramadhan

2011-08-07T12:05:00.001+08:00

I hope it's not too late for me to wish Ramadhan Mubarak.

Nak buat before kahwin...

2011-06-25T16:40:00.000+08:00

2011 sepatutnya merupakan tahun favorite saya.

Saya memang berangan nak jadikan tahun ini tahun yang paling istimewa.

Tapi harapan tak kesampaian.

Tahun istimewa tu mestilah tahun utk settle down with someone and get married.

Tapi itu impian time kat asrama dulu.

Teringat time tu ada tulis kat katil tarikh tunang, nikah and bersanding.

Biasalah, time tu tak cukup matang lagi and apa nak buat lagi kat asrama rite?

Now, things turn into different way.

Like what most people said, we can only plan 4 or 10 years ahead. However, Allah the greatest :)

Bila received kad kahwin and invitation thru Facebook, memang terus terfikir.

What if I decided to get married this year?

What should I do before I get married?

Jadinya, saya pun nak come up with the list of things I should do before get married:

1) Nak ada kereta after dah kerja. Sebab ni aset jugak kiranya. Tak nak menyusahkan my beloved ibu and ayah. Nak guna duit sendiri. (Alhamdulillah )

2) Property. For me, this is the most important thing. Ibu selalu reminds us (siblings) utk ada rumah sendiri, maksudnya atas nama sendiri lepas kahwin. But if ada rezeki lebih, sebelum kahwin is better. Ini memang nak sgt sebab tak sabar nak hias rumah sendiri.

3) Nak buka business sendiri. Even tak fikir lagi nak bukak business apa but memang insist to get this done before get married. That's why kena kerja dgn orang dulu. Biar susah2 dulu, senang2 kemudian. Gitu!

4) Nak pergi travel overseas dgn girlfriends. Europe or Japan maybe?

5) Doing backpacking around Asia. Tak cover whole Asia pon takpe. Southeast Asia pon enough for me.

6) Nak pergi island dgn bestfriend. Pergi dua org pon jadilah. Nak scubadiving.

7) Nak hantar ibu pergi umrah. This one is something that I really hope it will come true. Sayang ibu sgt. And love to make her happy inside and outside

8) Khatam Quran.

9) Nak ada savingss beratus2 ribu. Dalam ASB kena simpan byk2.

10) Further my study in Australia.

Amin. Amin. Amin

18th March 2011

2011-03-24T17:28:00.000+08:00

I’m so sorry for not updating quite a long time.

Kinda busy with tons of workloads.

Anyway, as the title above.. 18^th March 2011 was a date to remember!

My blacky is out. (Promise will upload Blacky on the next post)

Alhamdulillah syukur!

It’s quite an issue with that but I just ignore it.

If you follow me on Twitter, u will notice some emotional expression towards Mr. Sepet.

Anyway he is salesperson who trying to cheat and manipulate me.

Whatever la Mr.Sepet. I just want to share with you sweetest2 things here. So I skip about that.

I fell in love with it since the first time they launched it in M’sia couple of years ago.

And ever since that, I always dream of own it.

Yes, it’s true!

My dream came true on 18^th March 2011.

Thanks to Allah!

p/s: Anyway, I plan to rename Blacky as Lola, what do you think?

Please sedar diri

Adik-beradik di Asrama

2011-02-17T16:21:00.000+08:00

Tak tahulah kenapa lately, asyik teringat pada memori time kat asrama je. Honestly, sekolah berasrama memang paling best lah. Dulu time dapat offer, nangis-nangis takmau pergi sebab first time berjauhan dengan family katenya. Tapi bila dah jumpa kawan-kawan, hilang semua tu.

Time kat asrama dulu, saya terkenal dengan mulut yang laser dan bising. Pantang ada budak poyo, mesti kena sound. Kalau yang gedik, memang tak payah cerita, belum sempat nak sambung gedik, mesti dah kena laser. Bila fikir balik, tak baik sebenarnya, sebab menyakitkan hati orang lain (Bila dah besar, barulah nak fikir).

Saya ditempatkan dalam dorm E4 di mana majoritinya semua budak KL. So bila budak KL masuk tempat baru, paham2 lah kan…Semua benda nak kutuk. Sampaikan lagu ‘tut’ pon nak jadi bahan. Lepas tu, budak perempuan yang cantik2 pon akan dapatlah abang angkat and budak lelaki yang muka cam Temenggung Jugah pulak akan dapat kakak angkat paling gangster dalam sekolah.

Bila dah ber’angkat2’, apa lagi, back-up memback-up adik2 angkat masing-masing akan berlaku. ‘Siapa usik adik angkat gua, siapla lu’--- ha camtuhlah agaknya J. Aku pulak memang agak lambatlah dalam history ber-adik angkat ni. Tak berapa suka. Sebab cam tak tahu apa function. Lainlah if ber-adik angkat ni macam boleh tulis nama aku dalam wasiat ke kan. Takpelah. LOL.

Anyway, ada seorang kakak ni dia nak sangat ber-adik angkatkan aku. Nama dia ialah Tengku Ridzuani (OMG, ingt nama penuh okay). Panggil saja Kak Rid. Dia ni pengawas sekolah. Baiklah. Sebab kalau spot-check, Teh Safura akan selamat. Hehe. Dan yang best if ada Hari Guru, Hari Merdeka ke Hari ape ke. Dapat chocolate uols. Ha mampu?

Dan yang paling tak tahan, koyak duit RM2, sebelah bagi aku, sebelah lagi ada kat dia. Siap sign. Memang meletops. Katanya tidak akan terputus hubungan adik-beradik ini. Chewah.

Tapi bila dah masuk Form 5, dah start jadi senior, semua itu takde sudah. Habis sekolah lagilah. Ada sekali jumpa Kak Rid dekat Times Square, time tu aku pun dah lain…. Memang tak sama dah macam dulu. Dengan rambut perang, tak pakai tudung lah kan. Kak Rid tak mau mengaku adik dah. Itulah aku dah agak, beradik-adik angkat ni semuanya palsu aje. Bila habis sekolah, semua berubah (wow! It’s rhyme).

Kepada sesiapa yang masih contact kakak angkat or abang angkat, Tahniah saya ucapkan ye. Anda memang hebat!

Inilah SEMENTA...

Dream Destinations

2011-02-17T12:27:00.000+08:00

Ever since I was small, I always wanted to go travel around the globe. I don’t care how and with who? All I want is travel to my favorite spots throughout the world. I only realized how important to plan your travel when one of my best friends told me so.

It’s not hard to plan your travel once you know where you want to go and the person you are going with. But the most important thing is BUDGET. Don’t let financial situation become issue. Do backpacking. It’s fun and adventure. Get to know real people and culture of others through your eyes J.

Okay let’s enjoy my dream destination photos. I guess it’s not too late to list down all my dream destinations (like hello, I’m only 24 LOL).

Wayag Island, Indonesia

Castle in Germany

Bamboo from Khao Sok National Park, Thailand

Central Park, New York City

Nami Island, South Korea

Maldives

Greece

Moscow, Russia

Halong Bay, Vietnam

Paris

Hawaii

Tanah Lot, Bali, Indonesia

Okayama, Japan

Oh 1 and only : Venice, Italy

p/s: all photos are not by myself. inspired by lots of creative people out there.

Bertiga lebih baik

2011-02-16T16:27:00.000+08:00

Yes, sometimes bertiga lebih baik dari berdua. Jangan pikir bukan-bukan. Harini iols nak cita pasal my 3 Serangkai iaitu my bestie! Mereka berdua merupakan kawan yang paling rapat, baik and akrab time kat asrama dulu. Kami berjumpa time orientasi iaitu pada hari kedua. Mulanya, kami diberikan masa yang amat singakt untuk bersiap sebelum memulakan acara sukan pada petang tersebut. Hanya saya, Aniza and Yana sahaja yang turun awal. Dan kaka senior tuh pon bagi kami nama 3 J (Jambul, Joyah and ape ntah). Tak sedap kan? Itu namanya kakak senior tu tak creative uols.

Ha sejak itulah kami bertiga rapat macam kembar. Elok pulak diletakkan dalam 1 kelas, ha apa lagi buatlah kepala masing-masing. Semua orang ingat kami ni dah kenal lama. Tapi memang kami satu kepala. Sampaikan katil pon kami sambungkan jadi king size terus.Macam-macam yang kami buat sama-sama. Termasuklah gi makan kat Dewan Makan (DM), pergi PAFA, pergi lab, balik pon naik bus same-same. Tapi bile time ponteng, Aniza tak boleh. Sebb antara kami bertiga, Aniza yang paling baik. Iols dengan Yana memang dah melencong jauh susah

Pernah jugak sekali tu, ustazah cuti berslain 3 bulan dan replacement teacher tak sampai-sampai. Yang bestnya, dua masa terakhir adalah pelajaran Pendidikan Islam. So inilah chance kami nak balik awal kan. Sampailah ada ustazah ganti tu, muka die sebijik macam Tomok. Dia pon tak kenal kami sebab sebelum die masuk, iols dan Yana dah balik dorm dulu, gi makan DM lagi. Ang tukang cover line, semestinya Aniza la kan. Pernah jugak aku and Yana runner asrama tapi Aniza jugak cover. Cover2 pon kantoi. LOL.

Dan yang paling buat iols terharu ialah masa mata iols masuk ke dalam uols. Serious eh ini bukan main. Ntah tonyoh camner boleh ke dalam. Terus mengadu kat Aniza. Time tu Yana semua turun dari prep nak gi hantr ke hospital. Sepanjang aku kena gi hospital tu, Aniza and Yana lah yang menjaga. Pergi sekolah mata sebelah tutp macam pirate sudah. Sanggup je diorang berjalan sebelah kan… Yana siap skip paper Chemistry nak teman iols gi cuci mata. Pastu dapat pulak markah tinggi after amik exam dalam bilik cikgu.LOL.

Memang mereka inilah teman suka dan duka time kat hostel dulu. Bersusah payah, menangis bersama-sama. Cerita masalah sama-sama. Senang pon sama-sama. Memang kami 3 Serangkai la. I love u guys even more bile tulis post ni. Dan sekarang Aniza pond ah berumah tangga. Ramailah yang berteka teki siapakah selepas Aniza. Safura or Yana? Nantikanlah ye….

Makan-makan

Wedding Aniza

Kenangan Dolu-Dolu

2011-02-16T16:24:00.001+08:00

Kadang-kadang tertanya juga, perlu ke kita bercinta pada usia yang terlalu muda? Terutamanya apabila masih lagi belajar di sekolah. Sebelum itu, post ini ditujukan untuk mereka yang masih di sekolah rendah dan menengah iaitu mereka yang berumur 7- 17 tahun ye. Bukanlah nak bangkitkan isu ini, cuma bertanya adakah relevan bercinta sewaktu sekolah ni?

Bila teringat balik time kat sekolah dulu. Budak-budak yang hot, kulit putih, licin, kurus and lemah lembut je yang akan dapat boyfriend/ cepat bercouple2 ni. Bukanlah macam saya yang gemuk, gigi tak cantik, rambut curl, kulit jerawat dan jalan pun dah macam lelaki. Time kat sekolah dulu ada yang panggil saya tomboy sebab saya sangat kasar. Tak suka sangat gedik-gedik ni. RIMAS..katenya!

Selalu diperhatikan jugak, budak2 perempuan yang pakai perfume sebotol sehari, jalan lenggang-lenggok, bag sekolah nak color comel2, kasut nak converse aje and kelas yang bawah-bawah sikit dapat boyfriend cepat aje (bukan nak stereotype pasal kelas bawah but it’s true). Pastu time rehat- dating, makan sikit je sebab tak berselera depan bofriend (kan dah membazir masa dan makanan).

Yang paling best if dapat pulak couple dengan olahragawan/ olahragawati or pelajar-pelajar yang mengharumkan nama sekolah disebabkan kokurikulum (koko). Memang lagi kembanglah if nama bf/gf mereka disebut. Dan mereka-mereka yang popular kerana koko ni, selalunya poyo je lebeh. Dorang selalu rasa dorang boleh couple dgn sesiapa.

Tapi berlainan dengan saya sewaktu di sekolah, saya memang tak penah couple time kat sekolah dulu. Seperti yang saya cakap, takdelah sape nak padang muka hauk cmni kan. Yelah, mana mampu nak gi salon set rambut kan. Tak mampu nak guna duit mak bapak ke arah yang camtu. Tapi tapi tapi…….

Ada seorang lelaki bernama Awang yang pernah suka saya time saya Tingkatan 3. Dia ni memang kacak lah jika dibandingkan dengan budak-budak lelaki yg lain. Die ni putih, tinggi, rambut cantik, memang idaman la. Tapi dia skema. Saya kan cam kasar dan tomboy, so sayalah yang akan kacau budak-budak lelaki cmni kan.

Satu hari tu, Awang cakap yang dia suka perempuan macam saya. Ha!!! Ado lelaki kacak yang kasut dia putih sampai hari Jumaat suka orang macam saya? Memang terkejutlah. Sebab siapalah saya. Awang ni memang sweet jugakla orangnya. Pernah dalam kelas, cikgu suruh tulis pasal orang yang paling saya suka dalam kelas. Biasalah semuanya nak tulis kawan-kawan yang sejantina, tapi Awang tulis pasal saya tau. Waaaaa!!

Tapi sekarang semuanya dah lain sebab masing-masing dah besar panjang dan dah pandai bergaya. Saya dengan Awang tak jadi apa-apa pun sebab saya takmau couple2 ni. Saya tak minat nak ada bf (time tulah). Saya lebih suka single dan bersosial bersama kawan-kawan yang lain. Dan Awang sekarang dah jadi Arkitek kot. Takpelah Awang, siapa yang kahwin dengan Awang memang bertuah!

Berbalik pada topic kita, bagi saya, kalau kita tengah sekolah ni, baiklah kita berkawan rapat sahaja sebab nanti bila dah couple then gaduh… tak ke awkward bila time nak reunion? Haaaa… nanti dah tak seronok bermasam-masam muka. Bagi yangnak merasa couple tu, ingt jgn serahkan apa-apa kerana cinta. It’s not worth it. Just find someone else who totally in love and care for you. Allah telah menciptakan kita berpasang-pasangan jadi jangan takut ye.

Successfully jailbreak my iPad.

2011-02-11T11:02:00.001+08:00

After 2 days spent on jailbreaking my iPad, finally yeeehaaa!

Sorry over-excited laaa

Maybe this is because, if you want asked people from LowYat to make it for you, they will charge you RM 150. It’s expensive since jailbreaking iPad with OS 4.2.1 is a bit tricky ( for first-timer)

It requires lots of research, google and supports from friends (In my case thanks to Bob and Shafeq). The only thing that I’m afraid of is jailbreak will broke my iPad. LOL.

But don’t worry, nothing happens. Just trial and error.

At first, I got several issues especially to put my iPad on DFU Mode (if tak tahu, please google).

Then, something went wrong on adding sources.

After I reboot my ipad, it stucked on silver apple logo. I went crazy on that time. I can’t even ON my iPad. Shafeq is tryong to figure it out. But I’m not in my mood to solve it. All I want to do is bring it to the office and try to solve it by myself.

And today, I re-jailbreak my iPad, I saw Installuos icon on my home screen. So proud!

I can do it by myself. Now, welcome to the world of FREE apps. Hehe. No more receipt from iTunes and for those who wants to jailbreak your iPad, no need to go to LowYat. Better save your RM 150 for more valuable items.

*Thanks to Shafeq and Bob.

1.1.11- I don’t care about the number. What I care is him!

We planned for something with a lil’ bit of surprise for each other. Last year, he bought me …. from MAC. While I gave him a set of toiletries from Body Shop.

Skip last year since we’re heading to 2011.

Yeah! It’s been 4 years since we met.

For this time, we planned to celebrate it at the place of our first date.

Then, he surprised me with Lomography Camera- Holga with fisheye lense. (Can’t wait for the printed result)

I love it!

And for him….

I bought him dinner at Revolving Restaurant.

That’s how I welcomed my 2011. No resolutions. Just go with the flow.

Plus, with someone special beside me.

Happy New Year!

WELCOME 2011
